Ingredients
Scale
Main Fritter Ingredients:
- 2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and finely diced)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- Vegetable oil for frying
Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Fritter Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, vanilla, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined.
- Add Apples: Fold in the diced apples.
- Fry the Fritters: Heat vegetable oil in a pot to 350°F. Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil and fry until golden brown.
- Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Dip or drizzle the warm fritters with the glaze.
Notes
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for the best flavor balance.
- For a cinnamon-sugar coating instead of glaze, toss warm fritters in a mixture of 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
